The Smithers Motocross Association received a new, temporary, lease on life for their Donaldson Rd. track. At the Regional District of BulkleyNechako board meeting last Thursday, the SMXA was granted a five-month Temporary Use Permit to legalize the operation of their track for the 2013 season. The future of the SMXA track has been up in the air since last year, when RDBN residents brought forward complaints about excessive noise generated by the track. Further investigation
revealed there were a number of issues with the track that needed to be remedied. Many of these issues centred around the fact the track was built on a landfill that was closed by the RDBN in 2000. Because the track was built on a closed landfill, questions were raised about the track impacting the integrity of the landfill cap, the potential of contamination of other parts of the property and the health risks associated with the collection of landfill gases on the property. “There are a number of significant reasons why a motocross track may not be a suitable long-term use for the subject property and
there are a number of significant issues that must be evaluated and resolved by the property owner, the Ministry of Environment and the Agricultural Land Commission before the suitability of the proposed use can be determined,” Jason Llewellyn, director of planning, noted in a report previously prepared for the RDBN board. “It is also possible the existence of the motocross track on top of the landfill may be impacting the integrity of the landfill cap and creating health risks.” The intention now, Stoney Stoltenberg RDBN Director Electoral Area A said, is to have the organization

work with the RDBN to find a new location for the track so they can find a permanent home. “Everybody on the board is supportive of the SMXA but there are lots of liabilities as far as old landfills go,” Stoltenberg said. “We’re not trying to squash motocross. “We’re trying to make this work as best we can but because of the location of it, the chance of spreading pollution outside of that zone is too great. “We don’t want to take that chance.” Ray Chipenuik, who heads a group called the BV Countryside Alliance, which is in opposition to the motocross track because they say
the noise negatively affects their enjoyment of country living, said granting the permit seems to be in contravention to the Smithers Telkwa Rural Official Community Plan. The OCP allows for the a Temporary Use Permit to be granted only when the environment would not be negatively affected and the use will not have adverse affects on neighbouring land uses and property owners, among other conditions. “The regional district’s own documents dwell on the environmental problems of the site and neighbouring property owners have
been complaining strenuously about the illegal motocross activity on the site for two years,” Chipeniuk said. “Needless to say, operation of the SMXA track has overwhelming environmental implications and imposes a real hardship on local residents. “So it is hard to understand why the regional board would even entertain this TUP process.” Stoltenberg said he doesn’t believe the the landfill cap will be affected by the the short racing season. “Part of the assumption is that one more summer there isn’t going to have a negative impact,” he said.

BCMA president says lifestyle key By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Shelley Ross, MD, President of the British Columbia Medical Association, said a key consideration for young doctors is lifestyle. The desire to lead a wellbalanced life is a key element in the decision making process for newly minted medical doctors, Ross said. “If you’re one of not enough doctors in town, you can never have any life away from work,” Ross said. Unfortunately, many towns in the north face a
shortage of doctors, making it even more difficult for new doctors to achieve the balance between work and everyday life. The BCMA is well aware of the situation and is working with the province to find solutions. “We have to figure out a way to keep a steady flow of young doctors wanting to come practice medicine in rural areas,” she said. In previous years, such shortages were filled by South African doctors, but South Africa closed that door. One solution, is to provide communities such as
Hazelton money to attract a doctor. Hazelton and 16 other communities received $100,000 to hire a new doctor. One partial solution, Ross said, was to make sure Canadian medical students studying abroad return to Canada to fulfill their residency requirements. “We have to make sure they come home because we’re missing a lot of talent,” Ross said. The need to hire new doctors is only going to grow, Ross said, because the median age of doctors in B.C. is about 55.

RDBN votes to allow salvaging Small-scale activities OK, commercial salvage banned
By Ryan Jensen
“They feel that’s a really important resource for the community...”
Smithers/Interior News
Despite staff recommendations, the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako will still allow some small-scale salvaging at their transfer stations. At the April 19 board meeting a recommendation was put forward by the RDBN’s Waste Management Committee to ban salvaging activities in all areas except the re-use sheds and to limit the materials accepted at the re-use sheds to furniture only. The concerns were brought forward by RDBN director of environmental services Janine Dougall, who cited safety and liability issues such as
Taylor Bachrach
residents running into aggressive salvagers, people cutting electrical cords from appliances for the scrap metal value, hazardous wastes being placed in the sheds and the lack of cleanliness of the locations. “Re-use sheds that are properly utilized by the general public are considered by many as a very positive initiative in the support of waste minimization principles,” Dougall said in her report to the RDBN board.
“Re-use sheds, however, that are abused or not used properly can be considered as a liability risk and have inherent problems.” That motion was not endorsed by RDBN directors and Taylor Bachrach, who is chair of the Waste Management Committee, made a motion to ban commercial-scale salvaging, investigate solutions to the specific behaviour issues and to consider employing additional personnel at the transfer stations. The motion was approved.
Bachrach said his decision was based on the overwhelming opposition to the proposed ban he heard from residents. Bachrach posted an informal poll on his Facebook page, asking residents for their feedback. The poll attracted a lot of attention. “What I heard, loudly and clearly, from the public was they really value the opportunity to scrounge stuff at the transfer station,” he said. “Whether it’s from the waste wood pile or from the material in the re-use shed or
from the furniture piled outside of the re-use shed.” “They feel that’s a really important resource for the community and they don’t want to see their access to that restricted.” The response was overwhleming. The board took Dougall’s concerns seriously, Bachrach said, and admitted there is a need to come up with solutions to address the issues highlighted by Dougall. “We need to look at the specific problem areas and come up with strategies for those,” he said. “We need to ask whether we need more human resources at the transfer stations to help manage those activities.”

Open Burning and Spring Cleanup
Business accord highlights awareness Provides little practical assistance for small business By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Small businesses are a vital component of the provincial economy, including Smithers. To that end, the province established the Small Business Roundtable, a group of individuals representing small business and government, with the purpose of identifying mechanisms that would facilitate small business in British Columbia. The end result of consultations with more than 35,000 small business owners and governments was revealed last week as the B.C. Small Business Accord, a set of six guiding principles the provincial government has committed to considering when implementing policies, Kelly McCormack, a member of the Small Business Roundtable Accord, explained. “It’s about a
relationship and an understanding between government and small business,” Smithers Mayor and owner of Bachrach Communications, Taylor Bachrach, said. “It’s about listening to small businesses.” The accord, at least for the moment, does nothing to level the playing field for small business owners on a practical level, according to local business owner, Jim Skubovius. Owner of BV Bocat Services, Skubovius would dearly like to have access to contracts with larger resource-related projects throughout the north. Part of the problem, Skubovius said, is a lack of information regarding what types of projects and contracts are available. Not having that kind of information, Skubovius said, makes it impossible to apply for the contracts which currently go to businesses in the
Lower Mainland. “The frustration is that these larger contractors coming into our area seemingly aren’t even concerned about getting a better price, or to get a price from someone who is right in the backyard of where the project is happening,” Skubovius said. “It’s especially devestating to businesses in smaller towns. “To try and get ahead and have the opportunity to retire one day you need to land bigger jobs now and then.” On another practical note, the accord has a ways to go according to Joe Bramsleven. Bramsleven, owner of Dynamic Cleaning Services, operates in several municipalities and requires a license for each. “Having one license to cover all of the municipalities would be a good idea,” he said. Bramsleven also
pointed to tax breaks for small businesses, something not covered by the accord. The taxes, Bramsleven said, can make it difficult to balance budgets for salaries, equipment and another expenses. “You can only charge so much for your services,” Bramsleven said. “There’s a very, very small profit margin.”
The accord, McCormack said, represents willingness on the part of the government to facilitate the life of small business owners. “That’s what the small business community wanted to see, they’re [government] listening and the comments by small business owners are not falling on deaf ears,” McCormack said.
If you have one or more of the following big problems you may need them: • Tired legs • Swollen feet and ankles • Varicose veins What are compression stockings? Compression stockings help support the veins in the legs by applying gentle pressure, thereby improving circulation. The only ‘support’ hosiery that is therapeutic and will aid in circulation is ‘graduated’ compression stockings. Graduated compression means compression is greater at the ankle and gradually reduces along the length of the leg, so venous flow is encouraged, not restricted.
Are compression stockings for men and women? — YES. People that typically wear them: • If you spend long hours sitting or standing; • If your parents are prone to varicose veins; • During pregnancy; • If you have some type of circulation disorder; • Taking a long flight.

POINT O F V IEW Promise filled with gas The politician’s promises of yesterday are the taxes of today. MacKenzie King
W
ithin seconds of the election writs being dropped, the press releases from the provincial political parties began to fly. The press releases come in several forms. Of course, the Liberal party press releases tout their previous accomplishments, while the other parties point out all the deficiencies in the way the Liberal party governed over the last four years. Then there are the promises. Small promises, safe promises and then there are the huge promises. The biggest promise thus far, a promise made only by the Liberal party is the establishment of the Propserity Fund, first announced by Premier Christy Clark in the spring budget. The gist of the promise is the Liberals will lead the province out of debt and into the promised land of prosperity by leaning on the natural gas industry. There are at least four natural gas pipelines proposed to travel from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat where a similar number of liquid natural gas plants are being proposed. Clark has said she expects one of the LNG plants to be operational by 2015 and the remaining three by 2020. With a ton of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue, it is easy to see how such a promise can be made. However, of the pipelines and LNG plants, only one of each have passed the environmental assessment process. The LNG plant in Kitimat includes First Nations partners, but the pipeline has not received full approval from First Nations groups along the way. Without completed environmental assessments and approval from First Nations, the remaining LNG plants and pipelines are merely proposals, not jobs, nor money in the bank, unless of course somebody knows something and they aren’t talking. - Percy N. Hébert
Democracy muzzling Members of Parliament MP Nathan Cullen is to be commended for coming to the defence of Conservative MP Mark Warawa, who was muzzled by his own party 15 minutes before he was scheduled to speak in the House of Commons a few weeks back. The Canadian public is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with a Parliament that is being built around the advancement of political parties rather than representing ones constituents, as Mr. Warawa was trying to do. Given Cullen’s apparent zeal for democratic accountability, perhaps he would do well, as House Leader of the NDP, to take a closer look at party
voting records. As the Globe and Mail uncovered, from the time that Mr. Mulcair became leader of the NDP until the start of the current sitting of Parliament, the party has been united for 100 per cent of the votes on private member’s business. The Liberal caucus was united on 90 per cent of the votes and the Conservatives came in at 76 per cent. A party that goes by the name of “democratic” should be expected to support MPs who wish to represent their constituents. How is it possible that all NDP MPs are representing their constituents while never breaking from the party line? Last year, NDP MP Bruce Hyer
GUEST VIEW Mark Penninga bravely voted against his party on a bill to end the long-gun registry. After leaving the caucus, he offered to come back again if Mr. Mulcair would allow him to vote in line with his constituents. The fact that he is still an independent today suggests what the NDP’s answer was and still is.

It is in light of these facts that Mark Warawa’s actions are exemplary. He is well aware that the issue he is advancing (a motion condemning sexselective abortion) has the support of 92 per cent of Canadians. Yet our party leaders lack the intestinal fortitude to talk about anything to do with pre-born human rights, even if it is a motion condemning discrimination against girls. The tension we are witnessing in the House is the result of a party system that is flawed; a system that is out of touch with Canadians. Sadly, although Cullen spoke against Conservative party muzzling, days later he sat on the
House of Commons committee that ruled that Warawa’s motion was “non-votable” even though an independent expert from the Library of Parliament clearly showed it met all the required criteria for votability. The committee made this decision in minutes, without asking Mr. Warawa any questions. The NDP, Conservatives, and Liberals did not want Parliament to touch anything to do with pre-born human rights so they ignored the rules and squelched the motion. Political parties are getting in the way of justice and democracy. Mark Penninga, a resident of Smithers, is Executive Director of ARPA Canada (www. ARPACanada.ca).

Conservatism right choice Editor: I don’t agree with our editor that a dissenting letter will balance a persistent editorial slant. Still, since we’re invited to defend conservatism, I will. It’s worth defending, because it’s basic philosophy is a healthy scepticism towards human nature. Through a capitalist profit motive it transforms greed into a force for common good. Our Conservative government is, of course, not really conservative. Bureaucracy grows, budgets are in the red, rule of law is optional for those blessed with preferred ethnicity, etc. Far from perfect. But to expect
perfection is to enter a realm of Utopia, socialism. The NDP constitution lists Utopia as its ideal. It believes in perfectability of human nature. With help from social engineering and a lot of propaganda, it would teach the herd to live for the collective. That’s why it fails everywhere it’s tried. It first destroys economies, then human spirit. Unlike our editor or MLA Doug Donaldson, I know this first hand. In this country we have the safety valve of kicking a party out of office if it doesn’t provide a good government. But in the case of the NDP there really isn’t any “if,” is there? We’ve seen this movie before. Tax, spend, borrow

and mismanage. If you don’t like the B.C. Liberals piling debt on top of deficit, you’ve seen nothing yet. Four years is a lot of time to do a lot of damage. Friends will be rewarded, Greens, with their weird blend of Gaia religion and socialist redistribution, public sector unions, major cash contributor, Indian chiefs. The NDP position is that B.C. belongs to them, that non-
Indians squat on stolen land, and to remedy that, when in power, instructed their legal team to lose the Delgamuukw court case for the people of this province. Enemies, the evil corporations and, by implication, the working people, will be slapped down. The NDP opposes all pipelines, oil and natural gas production and of what’s left, backs up only those projects approved by the chiefs, after suitable accomodation

of course. NDP MP Nathan Cullen made a statement to the effect that companies will either submit to the Chiefs’ rule, or are out of luck in B.C. As the chiefs like to say, with a great deal of smug selfsatisfaction, “First they must come to us.” We are the mediaval-like supplicants, cap in hand, bearing gifts, praying the rulers will be merciful. The latest mining survey placed B.C.
in 31st spot behind Namibia, mainly due to uncertainties around land claims. In 1992, the NDP signed a deal commiting them to have all claims settled by year 2000. When in power, the NDP canceled the Windy Craggy project, one of the largest known copper deposits, in the name of justice for their native brothers and sisters. This resulted in huge penalties, resource companies left and jobs disappeared. Justice for the rest of us be damned. All this and more will be atractive to those who believe that good life is their God, or rather nanny stategiven right. But our economic future is tied to resource extraction and transportation. The NDP bets on
immigration and job training. Good luck with that. When the revenue dries up, the Cullens and Donaldsons of this world will not ride to the rescue. That is not what politicians do. They do politics, a game of attaining of and holding on to power. And we’re left holding the bag, because we don’t pay attention and instead of doing our own thinking, take media propaganda seriously. Jerry Mencl Telkwa

L etters LOVE from A7 I call us “lower mainland refugees” as we moved to escape the high housing prices there. These are some of my observations and thoughts of our lives here: - I live in a village where churches outnumber the bars. - It costs $80 to tow a van out of a snow bank (in my case, probably more than the van is worth). - After a couple of sprained ankles, I think I learned how to walk on icy parking lots. - Everyday Hudson Bay Mountain manages to recreate its beauty in a different way. - The aboriginal people have a spirit that glows when they smile. - The bus drivers – Mike, George and Dave are great people. - You cannot walk or drive around the area without smiling or waving at someone. - The Reuse it Depot is a great place

with a $500 top-up to the tax credit for small businesses hiring young people. To assist my pondering, I was supplied with two pictures on the postcard: one of the pictures showed thick smoke billowing in oily profusion from an blackened smokestack, reminiscent of Dickens’ London. The other picture showed what I took to be two worthy entrepreneurs who might merit a tax credit and might equally be understood to be reviewing resumés of young people at the very moment at which the picture was taken. You see, I’m sure, the dilemma with which I was faced as I
Editor: A tough nonquestion I, like most Canada Post patrons, received in today’s mail a black/white postcard from Nathan Cullen and the NDP asking me a question. Did I, it asked, prefer “subsidies for big polluters or investment in small business?” Talk about a choice. As I pondered this chin-scratcher the choices became obvious: giving money to the nameless polluters who merit it simply by the fact that they are polluters (and big ones at that), or sparking job creation
considered this. Which did I prefer? It’s a real choice, right? Right? The problem with the question is not that it’s simple: it’s simplistic. The “negative” option is a hyperbolic caricature while the “positive” option is reasonable and obvious. A simplistic question, such as that offered by this mail-out, answers itself by providing incommensurate alternatives. One might conclude from the card that our current government offers nothing for business but tax incentives to the big boys to pollute, while the proponent’s
party will shut off the smokestacks and rescue the previously mentioned entrepreneurs. These are what we are asked to choose between. Is it a difficult question? No. It’s not difficult or easy. It’s not a question. We have seen materials from every federal and provincial party turn out the same simplistic literature. This letter is not an attack on the NDP or Nathan Cullen: it’s a call to political parties to raise the intelligence of public political discourse. The mailing to which I refer was not helpful to that end. Tom Grasmeyer Smithers

Most would agree that without the establishment of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway Divisional Headquarters in Smithers our town would not exist as we know it today. Retired railroad engineer Ted Huntington has lived in Smithers for over 60 years; he recalls the years of the steam engines well. “I enjoyed steam engines more than diesel,” he says. “You had to know so much more; driving diesel was like becoming a street car conductor,” he jokes. Ted was only 15 years old when he quit school and went to work for the railroad. He tells stories of rockslides on the tracks, the derailment that killed his father who was also an engineer, and “snow so heavy the trains would get stuck.” Ted recalls a trip in the 1980’s from Kitimat to Terrace when the freight train took 17 hours to go 12 miles. “The cat operator plowing the track was played right out,” he laughs. The town of Smithers and the Bulkley Valley have a fascinating history. “Read Harry Krusselbrink’s new book, “Smithers A Railroad Town,” says Ted, “he’s covered the stories well.” Ted is right; the book is an enlightening coach ride through our history. What do the Empress Hotel and the Parliament Buildings in Victoria have in common with Smithers? Why did Hubert (east of Telkwa) lose out on becoming the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad town? How did Canadian comedian Stephen Leacock describe the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad? Did you know parts of the Yellowhead Highway 16 follow abandoned rail bed? Harry’s book discusses this and more. As we prepare to celebrate our 100th Anniversary, we pay tribute to all those who forged a transportation route into northern B.C. Visit our website, share your stories, and register for the Homecoming activities; let’s celebrate Smithers! “I’ve registered, have you?”

If current weather conditions continue, Smithers golfers should have a long and productive season. Last week, the Smithers Golf and Country Club officially opened — more than a week earlier than last year’s opening. Over at the Riverside Par 3 golf course, the driving range also opened last week and owner Delee Yuen said he expects the course to be open this week. “The course is looking very good,” Yuen said. “It’s going to be a good year. “Everything is all dried up and there are no soft spots anywhere.” The Smithers Golf
and Country Club normally opens on temporary greens until the course dries out more but this season players are putting on regular greens from the start. “This year our course is dryer and we had no ice damage on our greens,” head pro Chris Herkel said. “They’re in perfect shape, which is a bonus.” With warm spring weather last weekend, Herkel said the course has already seen a lot of players hit the links. “Everyone has the bug now,” Herkel said. “It’s been very busy already.” This season, the Smithers Golf and Country Club has added a new category of membership, the young adult, to
attract new golfers to the course. Golfers aged 19–24 can purchase a membership for $400 and 25–29 year-olds will pay $500 for an annual membership. Overall green fees have seen a slight increase this year, Herkel said. This August, the Smithers Golf and Country Club is once again hosting the Celebrity Golf Tournament which will be held during Smithers Centennial Homecoming Week. “It’s going to be a great year,” Herkel said. The first tournament of the year is the Spring Classic, taking place on the May Victoria Day long weekend. Men’s Night is Thursday and Women’s Night is every Tuesday.

Gryphon golfers start season strong Cachia shoots 1 under par to lead in Terrace
By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
Despite not yet setting foot on their home course, the Smithers secondary school Gryphons Golf team has already had some top-flight results. On Saturday, Nathan Cachia shot an impressive one under par 72 to lead the team to a firstplace finish at the first zone play day of the season in Terrace. Kaleb Gorbahn shot 80, Mitch Turko followed closely with 81 and Trent Monkman shot 86 as the Gryphons for a combined team total of 319.
Also competing was Bulkley Valley Christian School, led by Adam Veenstra, who shot 84. The week prior, the Gryphons were in the Lower Mainland at Northview, the home of the PGA Tour’s Air Canada Open, for a match play challenge with Delta’s Seaquim High School. Despite the rainy weather and the fact the team had yet to play an on-course round, the Gryphons defeated their Lower Mainland counterparts.

Moore’s team, the Canucks, was defeated in the tournament final 4-3 by Team Flyers to capture the U16 BC Cup on Sunday. Coish played for Team Stars, and scored one goal in four games. Oliarny played for the Avalanche and was held pointless over four games. The three, all graduating members

Kosalko wins Ball Master title By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
Nori Kosalko won the coveted Ball Master trophy on Saturday as the firstever winner of the Inaugural Man Pong Tournament. Kosalko bested tournament brainchild and organizer Mark Edwards in the finals for the win. On the doubles side, Mike Mehr edged out Paul Glover for the top spot after six rounds
of play. More than 20 men, playing singles and doubles on four tables, took part in the fun event, held at Northwest Community College. “It was great use of the community college space,” Edwards said. “This was the first but not the last event of its kind.” Another Man Pong event is already being planned before Edwards and his family move to Tasmania this summer.

The Town of Smithers Works and Operations Department will be conducting a Flushing Program beginning Monday, May 6, 2013 until approximately Friday, May 31, 2013. One week prior to the Flushing Program beginning, chlorine will be added to the system in controlled quantities, to offset iron, bacteria, silts and other substances that have settled out of the water and become lodged in the distribution system. Users will probably be able to detect the taste or odour of this chlorine until approximately June 8, 2013. The quantity of chlorine injected into the system will not be allowed to exceed two milligrams per litre and will not be injurious to your health. This is a normal chlorination dosage in many communities. Anyone finding this taste or odour objectionable will be able to quickly dissipate it by allowing a container of water to stand with the surface uncovered for a short time, or by boiling the water for a couple of minutes. If, during the course of the flushing program, the water from your taps becomes coloured or dirty, please run taps continuously for a period of time, and you will find that the problem will clear up. Should that action not correct any problem with taste, colour or odour, feel free to contact Dale Chartrand, Chief Utilities Operator, at 250-847-1649. Also, by running your taps prior to laundry washing and avoiding the use of chlorine bleach in your laundry during the course of the flushing program, you will minimize the possibility of laundry staining caused by Manganese. The Town would like to thank water users for their patience and co-operation during the Flushing Program. Our aim is to provide the community with the best quality of water possible.

F aith M atters Main St. Christian Fellowship Rick Apperson 250.847.1059 My 3-year old was asked recently how high he could count. He then proceeded to work through the numbers 1 through 13. His next words were, “Hey, I almost made it to 14!” He then proceeded to finish counting all the way to 20. Have you ever been in that place where it feels you can only go so far and no further? Maybe you have felt like giving up or that you have done all you can. It can be discouraging and some people feel like quitting all together. I’ve felt that way before. I remember when it felt like the whole world was against me and I could do nothing right. I had reached the end of the line emotionally and was ready to call it a life. In fact, I remember distinctly looking for a tree to run my car into. It just felt like I could go no further. Only God kept me from ending my life
that day. Like my son, who was surprised that he “almost made it to 14,” and was then able to continue counting, I was also surprised when God not only saved my life that day, but He used that event to draw me closer to Him. Just when life seemed no longer worth living, God showed me that He is the God of the impossible. I discovered that my identity is in Christ (Galatians 2:20) and not in what others say about me or even what I say about myself. As I studied His Word and talked with a Biblical Counselor, I saw God do something I thought impossible. He worked a miracle in my life and in my marriage eleven years ago, so I encourage you not to limit God. Put your trust in Him and watch Him do the impossible!

C OMMUNITY Out in Schools brings LGBTQ message into schools By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
Students of all stripes at Smithers secondary school heard an important message last week, during presentations by Out in School representatives, Jen Sung and Rob Easton. The message that all students, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual and queer students deserve respect was well received, Sung said. “We were really proud of how students at Smithers secondary school demonstrated their knowledge and awareness around LGBTQ issues in a respectful and mature setting,” she said. “Many students from different grades approached to talk to us after each presentation was over, saying how much they appreciated the films we screened and creating an open dialogue at their school.” Perry Rath, a teacher at Smithers secondary school who organized the

presentations was also pleased with the reception the students gave to the message delivered by Out in Schools. “The students conducted themselves very respectfully during the presentations, and the facilitators were very effective at being inclusive and wide-reaching in their breadth of encouraging audience participation, roaming through the auditorium, engaging with students,” Rath said. Some students did admit they were uncomfortable with the presentations, but also said they
agreed with the need to respect LGBTQ students. “The overall response was pretty positive,” Rath said. The message of respect, although well received, can nonetheless be a tough one to deliver, Sung said, especially in terms of the derogatory language used by high school students. “Phrases like, ‘that’s so gay,’ is so ingrained in high schools and many students are not aware that it can have very negative and serious consequences on the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ students at the school,” Sung

said. Another difficulty faced by LGBTQ students is a lack of support in their schools, especially if they are being harassed. Fortunately, SSS students have risen above the tide and do provide a supportive environment, Rath said. “They [Sung and Easton] were impressed with the student responses during their facilitation, and they felt that SSS seemed very progressive to them, in terms of how they felt walking the halls, and their welcome by students and staff,” he said.

The life of a professional ski bum By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
Chiaki Nakamura is living the life many people dream of. He lives in the moment and prefers only to look ahead. When asked to recall events from the past, he’s vague and unsure of specific dates. “I don’t like to look back,” he says simply. Chiaki grew up in Osaka, Japan and went to postsecondary school to become an electrical engineer. He always dreamed of moving to Canada and about 30 years ago he travelled to Vancouver to work as a tour guide for Japanese visitors. “My friends told me it was going to rain every day in Vancouver but I thought it was just a tall tale,” Chiaki said. “But it did and I was so depressed.” After one winter in Vancouver, Chiaki asked his employers for a transfer to Jasper. The weather was colder, but much sunnier. It was in Jasper that Chiaki was first introduced to cross country skiing and then his current mode of ski transport, telemarking. “They looked so graceful and I just fell in love with telemarking and never looked back,” he said. Jasper, at that time, was not yet the insanely busy tourist destination it is today, so Chiaki was able to ski on uncrowded slopes for the most part. Once life in Jasper was too hectic for him, Chiaki began his transient lifestyle in earnest. Over the years, he has criss-crossed Canada, skiing at destinations such as Mt. Tremblant, Silver Star, Sunshine Village, Marmot Basin and this year Hudson Bay Mountain. He stays three or four years in each place, to make sure he experiences all the ski hills have to offer. Chiaki says he prefers the smaller, quieter towns and ski hills. Most recently, in the summer months, Chiaki travels to Grande Prairie, AB, to work at a friend’s business there. In 2010, he self-published his own book, The Life of a Professional Ski Bum. In it, Chiaki tells interesting and funny stories from his time as a tour guide and ski bum, under headings
like: Casual Meal is an Oxymoron and I’m not a Mr. Clean: Smartly Lazy. He opens by explaining how he is able to maintain his lifestyle. “Anyone can be a ski bum,” he says. “However not everyone can be a professional bum nevermind a professional ski bum. “Just because you love skiing and are lazy, doesn’t mean that you are qualified to be a professional ski bum, unless you are rich. “I am now semi-retired. That is, I work for a summer and ski in the winter. When I was much younger, I partied every night, skied every day and somehow, managed to work.” One key to becoming a successful professional ski bum, Chiaki says, is being a great cook.
ed back down the hill, using his thumb, before most people have even made it up the mountain. Watch for Chiaki heading up or down the mountain next season. Give him a ride and listen to some of his stories. This is the closest most people will ever get to living the life of a professional ski bum.
In fact, a friend’s wife told him he could leave his ski equipment at their home, to ensure he came back and cooked a meal for them. After one full ski season in Smithers, Chiaki said he is very impressed with the quality of skiing on Hudson Bay Mountain. He gets up the mountain early. Always hitchiking. On an endless search for powder, he prefers to telemark on paths untouched by anyone else. After three or four runs, Chiaki is head-

C OMMUNITY Summit starts Revolution in Smithers By Ryan Jensen Smithers/Interior News
Summit Reforestation is breaking new ground. The Smithersbased tree planting company has partnered with the Roi Theatre, Revolutionary Films Inc, D Films, the Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative and NBC Universal Canada to bring the Canadian documentary Revolution to the Roi Theatre on Sunday. The showing is free for the community to attend. According to the documentary’s website, “Revolution is about filmmaker Rob Stewart’s effort to uncover the truth and find the secret to saving the ecosystems we depend on for survival.” “From the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea and deforestation in Madagascar to the largest and
most destructive environmental project in history in Alberta, he reveals that all of our actions are interconnected and that environmental degradation, species loss, ocean acidification, pollution and food/ water scarcity are reducing the Earth’s ability to house humans.” Summit Reforestation owner Tim Tchida said offering a free showing of the film was his company’s way of giving back to the community and the forest. “Everything I have, my kids’ clothes, my house and my truck comes from the economics of the forest,” Tchida said. “Revolution wakes us up to the reality that the earth is finite. “We must live sustainably and every choice matters. “This is a must-see film for all ages that uses stunning images to educate us on what

is happening to our oceans.” Last weekend, as an Earth Weekend promotion, for every ticket sold to the movie, a tree is being planted in Western Canada. “The planting of the trees will take place just outside
of Quesnel,” Tchida said. “We will bring together a number of silviculture contractors, working together, to participate in the planting the first COAC carbon credit trees.” Revolution, which
is showing right now across the country, will be shown Sunday at the Roi Theatre at 7:30 p.m. The movie boasts the second highest opening weekend of any Canadian documentary, second only to Stewart’s first film Sharkwater.

Mining Week
April 28-May 4, 2013
Summit Camps ready for the future Summit Camps is perfectly positioned to take advantage of northwest B.C.’s booming exploration and mining sectors. The Smithers-based company is a full-service
integrated camp and supply company that provides service infrastructure and catering and camp management services for operations of up to 500 people. “Ultimately, our goal is
to be the go-to local option for high-quality camp and catering services,” owner Dean Allen said. “There is potentially a staggering amount of business that will come
through the northwest and we want to be that local supply company that can provide services to all of those industries.” Allen said they have had some limited exposure to
the exploration industry but more of their clients are larger mining companies such as Rio Tinto Alcan, Agnico Eagle Mines and New Gold Mines. None of the work they

do, Allen said, would be possible without building relationships with First Nations groups. “Summit has developed and continues to develop excellent relationships based on trust, respect and a real understanding of the community,” he said. Currently, they are working in partnership with the Gitanyow and Kitsumkalum First Nations on 150-bed and 70-bed, respectively, facilities for construction workers employed for the building of the Northwest Transmission Line. Their reach goes beyond northwest B.C. Due in large part to the relationships they have nurtured with First Nations, Summit Camps has secured jobs in Nunavut and Quebec. But their home base is a huge advantage when looking at work in Northwest B.C., Allen said.
“The fact that Summit is based in Smithers is a great benefit to doing business in the northwest,” he said. Summit Camps doesn’t just work with mining industry clientele. They started out in 2004 by providing catering to B.C. Forest Service firefighters. This service is still a staple of what Summit Camps does every year. Between April and October, they are on call and have 24 hours to have dinner on the table when called upon. In 2010, Summit provided camps and provided catering and management services to the Department of National Defence for the 2010 Winter Olympics. In 2012, Summit Camps had about 200 employees and Allen said he sees a real opportunity for growth. “We have a lot of enthusiasm about our future in the northwest. “It’s pretty exciting.”

In partnership with the Gitanyow First Nations, Summit Camps has set up and manages a 150-bed mining camp at Meziadin Junction. This is just one of their projects currently underway.

Local community to benefit from worldwide anthracite demand
By Chris Clark For decades, China was to anthracite what Saudi Arabia is to oil. The country was sitting on huge reserves of the highest quality coal and exported it around the world for a multitude of uses including the production of steel and metal processing. But a decade ago, that all changed. By 2004, the Chinese were using more anthracite than the country was producing, in part because of an increase in do-
mestic steel production, fuelled by the country’s enormous construction boom. Since only 1 per cent of the world’s coal reserves are anthracite, there weren’t a lot of alternatives to buying from China. Add to that increasing demand for metallurgical coal in India, Brazil and other growing economies, and it is clear anthracite will be a valuable commodity worldwide for decades to come. That reality is good news for the B.C.

economy. There are enormous resources of anthracite in the northwestern portion of the province, a two-hour drive north of Hazelton, about 330 kilometres from the port of Prince Rupert. Canada’s first anthracite mine is being developed by the Arctos Anthracite Joint Venture (AAJV), a partnership between Fortune Minerals Limited, a Canadian company based in London, Ont., and its joint venture partner, POSCO Canada Limited, a subsidiary of South Korea’s POSCO, one of the world’s largest steel producers. As a 20 per cent partner, POSCO has committed to pay an estimated $158-million in development and capital costs. Thus far, $100-million has been invested in the project. Plans are to begin operations in 2016. That translates into jobs and revenue for the area. When up and running, the project will create more than 500 highpaying jobs and another 1,000-plus jobs in supporting businesses and services. Revenue of more than $10-billion will generate at least $900-million in federal and provincial taxes. None of that would matter if Fortune and its partners did not believe they could extract the anthracite with minimal environmental impact – or if the partnership were not committed to working with aboriginal groups and community stakeholders to ensure concerns are addressed and the prosperity is shared. Last year Fortune joined the Progressive Aboriginals Relations (PAR) program, operated by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Busi-
ness. The company was excited to join at the committed level and validate its effort to build positive aboriginal relationships. At the company’s other project, NICO in the Northwest Territories, three quarters of the workers at the camp since 2007 have been First Nations from the North. Fortune has asked its suppliers to enroll in the PAR program to ensure its entire supply chain is committed to working with and supporting aboriginal entrepreneurs and businesses. The AAJV is also committed to protecting the environment. The proposed mine footprint is less than 800 hectares, within a development area of about 4,000 hectares, and the site can be accessed using the existing rail and road bed. Water quality in nearby Didene Creek will be protected. Because of a natural waterfall barrier, the creek is not fish bearing. No part of the mine will affect the Skeena River; only the railway passes through the valley. Neither the mine nor the railway impacts the Nass River or its watershed. The project’s coal wash plant will recycle 95 per cent of the water it uses, and Arctos will create no tailings and no tailings pond. The mine is being designed from the start to optimize closure condition. The global market for anthracite is strong and growing. B.C. is in a unique position to profit from that demand. The Arctos project will create hundreds of high-paying, long-term jobs, building multigenerational wealth through its contribution to the local economy – all while protecting the environment and working with aboriginals and others living in the area to make the project a model of cooperation and environmental sustainability.

B.C. Six Essential Mining Phases of Mining Suppliers B6 www.interior-news.com
Economic benefits from mining operations extend far beyond mine sites and the communities that surround them. In fact, many B.C. communities benefit from a single mining operation. For example, the Copper Mountain Mine near Princeton had a feasibility study prepared by an engineering firm in Vancouver, conveyor systems supplied by a company in Surrey, belting from a firm in Burnaby, explosives from a company in Williams Lake, fuel and steel balls from companies in Kamloops and haul truck tires from a company with a head office in Vernon. Mining suppliers can generally be separated into three categories: • suppliers (heavy equipment sales, wear-plate manufactures, fuel service providers) • contractors (construction, transportation) • consultants (engineering, taxation, legal) Global Infomine has identified 922 supplier firms active in B.C. in 2012. Of these, over 200 are members of the Mining Suppliers Association of B.C. Economic and Social Impacts In 2011 PwC Canada (PwC) was commissioned to provide a comprehensive report (Economic Impact Analysis) on the full economic impact of mining in B.C. based on their 2010 B.C. mining survey. In 2010, mining suppliers were responsible for generating $2.7 billion of the estimated $8.9 billion total economic output of the mining industry in B.C. Mining suppliers generated an estimated $253 million in federal, provincial and municipal taxes in 2010. Total value added generated by mining suppliers in 2010 was approximately $1.3 billion. Employment Due to the nature of mining supplier firms, they also supply other industries (forestry, oil & gas), it is difficult to capture all the mining supplier jobs supported by the mining industry here in B.C. and abroad. However, indirect jobs supported by B.C. mining operations were identified in the 2011 PwC Economic Impact Analysis: In 2010, 16,590 indirect supplier jobs were supported by B.C. mining operations (this does not include outward transportation workers, such as trucking & rail). According to PwC’s 2012 B.C. Mining Survey: • Capital expenditures increased from $1.3 billion in 2010 to $2.9 billion in 2011 • Machinery and equipment expenditures increased 148 per cent from $0.6 billion in 2010 to $1.6 billion in 2011. • Surface construction rose from $0.3 billion in 2010 to $1.0 billion in 2011.

Mining creates opportunity for local residents and businesses Terrace locals may notice some new faces in town this week, as Minerals North kicks off its three-day conference on April 24. With 800 representatives expected from across British Columbia’s mineral exploration and mining sectors, what resource development means for BC’s “Northern Network” of communities and businesses tops the agenda. BC Mining Week starts a few days later across the province. Mining is an essential part of BC’s economy and, because of it, communities are thriving. In the Thompson Okanagan, mines like Copper Mountain, Highland Valley and New Afton employ almost 2,000 people locally, and stimulate jobs for thousands more who provide direct and indirect support and services to the mining industry and those it employs. The town of Princeton was reborn when the Copper Mountain Mine reopened in 2011, with new shops and community services, housing and other businesses springing up to support the resurgence. During construction, hotels in Princeton were at capacity, housing more than 500 people working to build the mine. Now in operation, the mine employs about 300 people who live locally.
from resource development,” says Fronk, “and then, by turning that commitment into reality.” In addition to employing locally wherever possible, Seabridge also uses local suppliers and service providers, including Bulkley Valley Wholesale, Granmac, Hy-Tech Drilling and Lakelse Air. The company estimates that of the $133 million spent on the project to date, and with another $31 million budgeted for 2013, about 80 percent of spending has been in BC. The company has also made two significant investments in skills training in the northwest within the past 18 months: $100,000 for the BC Aboriginal Mine Training Association to deliver skills upgrading programs in Gitanyow, Gitxsan, Nisga’a and Tahltan communities; and $100,000 to fund a mobile training unit Northwest Community College will use to deliver trades programs to local communities. “A common theme during our visits to local communities is that young people must leave to find work,” says Fronk. “That may not sound like a big deal to people who grew up in large cities but when you come from a small town, the sense of community is very different. And when the young leave, communities suffer.”

Exploration And Mining in the Skeena District, B.C.
By Jeff Kyba, BSc. GIT Regional Geologist, Smithers Exploration and mining activity in the Skeena Region reached a record high level of expenditure in 2012, thanks to the level of activity maintained by advanced stage projects. At least 82 significant exploration projects were active in the region in 2012, and companies spent over $285 million – nearly 30 per cent more than in 2011. The tighter fiscal times resulted in less access to high-risk capital and fewer grass roots projects. Finite exploration budgets have forced companies into exploring smarter, generating higher quality targets before the expense of drill testing and using innovative techniques to get increased mileage out of limited funding. Approximately 90 per cent of exploration expenditure was spent on advanced stage projects and the fifteen projects undergoing mine evaluation. The remaining 10 per cent of expenditure was spent on grass roots, and early stage exploration; about half of what a healthy exploration pipeline should be to ensure steady graduation of projects from early stages. A limited number of active early stage projects are reflected in the 8 per cent decrease in exploration drilling. Mine construction and development expenditure are estimated at over $133 million. Expenditure on hydro powerrelated projects, including the Northwest Transmission Line, totalled over $1 billion. This level of development spending is unprecedented and not only reflects the costs of constructing key infrastructure, but will also be the source of hundreds of long-term, well-paying jobs for the northwest. It is also a confirmation that the region is an attractive jurisdiction for large capital projects which inherently increase development confidence for all levels of responsible mineral exploration. 2012 Significant events: 1. Brucejack – 41 bonanza grade (>1000 g/t) gold intercepts from the Valley of the Kings; largest drilling program on the property to date and in the region at 105,769 m. 2. Strong (highest grade to date) porphyry Cu-Au mineralization intercepted at KSM 3. Mines Act Permit issued to Red Chris project, mine construction underway 4. Huckleberry Mine implements Main Zone Optimization plan, extends mine life to 2021 5. Northwest Transmission Line construction continues as well as associated hydro projects 6. Extensive Cu-Au-Mo-Ag porphyry mineralization drilled at Ootsa 7. Kitsault project enters EA process, decision due 8. Tulsequah Chief project receives EA amendment and positive feasibility study 9. Morrison project is denied EA certificate 10. Arctos Anthracite project (formerly Klappan) releases Definitive Feasibility Study 11. Porphyry Au-Cu mineralization identified at Castle Project 12. Large generative exploration programs being conducted by major mining companies
The largest operating mine in the northwest, the Huckleberry copper-goldsilver-molybdenum mine located 123 km southwest of Houston, is operated by Huckleberry Mines Ltd. Ownership is divided between Imperial Metals Corp (50 per cent) and a consortium of Japanese companies including Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. 2011 metal production totalled 19,427 tonnes copper, 109.48 kilograms gold, 6,785 kilograms silver, and 3.14 tonnes molybdenum from 5,929 700 tonnes of ore. Grades averaged 0.365 per cent Cu and 0.007 per cent Mo. Copper recovery was 89.9 per cent. Ore was mined from the Main Zone Extension (MZX) pit as part of preparation activities associated with the Main Zone Optimization (MZO) mining plan. The MZO development creates a super pit by combining the current MZX pit with the original Main Zone Pit by removing the saddle between them and the tailings and waste rock fill. The MZO was permitted and approved in January and extends the mine life from 2014 to 2021. Nephrite jade mining in northwestern B.C. continued seasonal operations in the Dease Lake area at four quarries: Provencher Lake, Kutcho, Cassiar and Dynasty. Total production numbers of the gemstone are not available. Total jade sales are by private arrangement and range from small, highly polished pendants to multi-tonne rough boulders. Buyers of the raw boulders generally ship the stones offshore for sculpting. Imperial Metals’ Red Chris property is in mine development stage. The Red Chris Development Company Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Imperial Metals Corporation, received its Mines Act Permit May 4 and began construction days after on its Red Chris copper-gold project located 80 km south of Dease Lake. Major infrastructure construction dominated 2012 activities with a goal of completion by early 2014. Milestones achieved this year include: the opening of a 487 person construction camp, excavation and pouring of some concrete for the process plant, road construction into the Tailings Impoundment Area (TIA), development of a gravel resource within the TIA to be used in concrete works and excavation for the mill site and truck shop. Detailed mine engineering continues with approximately 65 per cent complete at year end. Long lead time equipment including the Semi-Autogenous-Grinding mill, ball mill and a primary crusher has been procured. The 30 000 tonne per day mill is scheduled to be commissioned in 2014 harmoniously with the completion of the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL). Construction is well under way on the 344 km Northwest Transmission Line that will provide 287 kilovolt service roughly half way up the center of northern B.C. from Terrace to Bob Quinn Lake. BC Hydro awarded Valard Construction and Burns & McDonnell the design and build contract and began right-of-way and access clearing in January 2012. Construction progress was visible from highway 37 throughout the year and remains active in to the winter months with an estimated 280 people directly employed. The $561 million project is the longest power line project in BC Hydro’s capital plan and is
scheduled to be in service by spring 2014. Several hydro power projects throughout the northwest are under construction to feed into the NTL. These include three projects in the Iskut River area owned by Alta Gas. The 195 MW Forest-Kerr runof-river project is scheduled to be completed mid-2014; the McLymont Creek and Volcano projects are in pre-construction stages. The Long Lake hydro project is located approximately 25 km north of Stewart and owned by Regional Power Inc partnered with Premier Power Corporation. Long Lake will produce 31 MW and is scheduled to be completed by late 2012. A number of other projects are in the environmental assessment stage, including Seabridge Gold Inc which submitted an Environmental Assessment package in early 2013 for the KSM project located 65 km north of Stewart. KSM is comprised of four defined deposits: Kerr, Sulphurets, Mitchell and Iron Cap. Combined, these add up to one of the largest undeveloped gold-copper porphyry systems in North America with proven plus probable reserves totalling 2,164 Mt averaging 0.55 g/t Au, .21 per cent Cu, 2.74 g/t Ag and 44.7 ppm Mo.
The KSM project is planned to operate over a 55 year mine life with an estimated capital cost of $5.3 billion. The initial 25 years would be an open pit mining operation processing 130,000 tonnes per day (tpd) decreased to 90,000 tpd for the remaining 30 years. Ore would be fed to a floatation mill and produce a gold-copper-silver concentrate and then trucked to the Stewart port facility. In the same area, high-grade gold-silver continues to be identified by Pretium Resources Inc at their Brucejack project located approximately 65 km north of Stewart and 5 km west of the Kerr Deposit of the KSM multi-deposit system. The 2012 drilling program was the largest in the region totalling 105,769 m in 298 diamond drill holes. Close to Smithers, Metal Mountain Resources Inc wholly owned subsidiary Gavin Mines Inc continued development of their Dome Mountain gold mine located approximately 38 km east of Smithers. The company has determined a mill is needed for the site. A working group has been assembled and a scoping study is well underway to build a 250 tonne per day mill and acquire the necessary permit amendments.

The Mining Challenge and Rescan’s Role
The exploration and mining industry faces many environmental challenges throughout the mining cycle and requires strategic and reputable advice to understand and address those challenges in a sustainable manner. Rescan Environmental Services Ltd., an ERM Company, is based in B.C. and has provided over 30 years of technical and strategic support to projects in Northwest B.C. as well as throughout Canada and over 40 countries in the world. Now in our sixth year of operation, the Smithers Regional Office of Rescan continues to grow to serve the many environmental consulting needs in Northwest B.C.; an area containing fantastic mineral resources, incredible natural values and dynamic communities including a rich First Nations heritage. The mining industry also has different needs and issues to address throughout the exploration and mining cycle. Grass roots exploration typically has little environmental impact but must follow a variety of approaches to minimize potential effects on water quality, fisheries, wildlife, archaeological and heritage resources. By working early in the exploration and development cycle with proponents, Rescan has helped manage the footprint and help avoid potential effects which can arise during exploration. As proponents move into the advanced exploration phase and seek government and First Nation approval to initiate a mine, the information needs and environmental expertise increases substantially. Typically several years of baseline environmental and technical studies are conducted by Rescan to inform a proponent, government regulators and First Nations about the environmental and socioeconomic features near a proposed mine. The baseline environmental and socio-economic information is used to prepare an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of the proposed project on those features and values. Rescan’s experienced team advises proponents on the steps required to meet government standards and evaluates what potential effects may occur; including solutions to help protect environmental features in an area. The baseline environmental information also serves as an integral aspect of engineering and infrastructure design and permitting. If a project gets environmental approval, and Rescan

Gitanmaax in a housing crisis By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Four reserves operating under the Gitksan Government Commission are in substantial debt where housing is concerned. Gitanmaax, Glen Vowell, Kispiox and Gitanyow are all more than $750,000 in the red due to a combination of mismanagement and renter fraud. Last week the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation and Turtle Island Associates, an aboriginalowned, Ottawa-based consulting corporation, led a discussion about strategies to help the villages climb out of debt. CMHC will partner with GGC and local band office personnel to create the new policies.
Roxanne Harper, Turtle Island consultant and Eel Ground Mi’kmaq member, let Gitanmaax residents know why she was invited by the GGC. “What’s happening here is the GGC and a housing working group are constructing a new approach to housing,” Harper said. “A new policy will be made available to the four villages, but before that each village will have the opportunity to customize their policy to suit the individual community.” The GGC has worked on policy development for more than six months, Harper said. The $780,00 debt for Gitanmaax is the lowest total of any of the four reserves and part of the reason for the debt was revealed at the meeting. The Gitanmaax Band office rarely evicts renters when they default on rent payment.
A renter is subsidized by CMHC, the extent of which is determined by the renter’s income. Sandra Harris, GGC program developer, explained some of the complexities involved in the issue. “The Gitanmaax band is essentially the landlord and they’ve been too lenient in some cases,” Harris said. “I mean, there’s somebody that owes around $60,000. “How are they ever supposed to pay that back?” Each band has an available annual trust and the combination of unpaid rent and lax evictions has ensured the trust is outpaced, Harris added. It’s unclear whether a formal housing policy has been in place for any of the four bands under the GGC. See HOUSING on p. B2

Band employees should be held accountable, band member HOUSING from B1 Gitanmaax Band member, Andy Davis, attended the meeting and put some pressure on the decision makers. “I think the band office workers should be held accountable for this, as well,” Davis said. “Any organization that was losing this much money would fire the people responsible.” One current Gitanmaax band councillor, Ross McRae, attended the information session. “It’s a difficult position to
be in, having to kick people out,” McRae said. In 10 years Gitanmaax has built 38 new units and renovated 144 homes. “And this has been building for more than 10 years.” Some ideas mentioned by community members were to ensure that people who don’t pay are given warnings and then will have to find another place to live, for the band to build a list of priority renters based on need and ability to pay and to hold community workshops about
home repair. There are nearly 40 people on the wait list for new housing and through this new policy the GGC and Gitanmaax hope to build a policy that will allow homes to begin construction soon. The Gitanmaax band encourages all members to give input to what they would like to see in the new housing policy. For mor information or to give input call Monica Green at 250-842-5297 or the GGC at 250-842-2248.
This is one of the homes on the Gitanmaax reserve that has remained uninhabited since the early 1990s. Only 38 homes have been built since 2003. Jerome Turner photo

Donaldson launches campaign By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Doug Donaldson began his campaign for re-election as MLA in the Stikine riding last Tuesday in Old Hazelton, where several locals attended to show Donaldson support. Mayor Alice Maitland, doctors, teachers, council members and several youth were among those gathered. Donaldson met all supporters with a warm welcome and discussed anything that came up, from large to small issues. He took the time to speak with The Interior News between conversations with Stikine constituents. “It’s nice to be back on the campaign trail,” Donaldson said. “It feels like people
want change for the better in B.C. “We can give them that if they come out and vote .” Over the past year Donaldson has visited every corner of the Stikine riding to hear what the people have to say and he plans on delivering, if reelected. “People have told me they would like more say in what’s going on in their own backyard,” Donaldson said. “A big part of that is ensuring that training for jobs in the north is available locally so northerners get the chance to work nearer to their homes.” The pace and scale of economic development is a major concern to a majority of Stikine constituents, Donaldson added. “Basically, they want to continue to
enjoy the reasons they live here and still have work,” he said. “The NDP has the citizen at its core, so we’re more inclined to listen to small communities.” Doug Changing the Donaldson environmental looks assessment process, forward to which was altered the election by B.C.

VOH wants more tourists By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
The Village of Hazelton council met on April 16 to discuss how to draw more tourists to the village, two new by-laws, solar power options for the town and donations to local projects. The meeting kicked-off with a presentation by local business owner and artist, Leah Pipe, about how the town can increase its draw to tourists through design. Pipe suggested re-branding of Old Hazelton with such things as new signs leading people around town. “I realized even people who come here often get lost down here,” Pipe informed Mayor and council. “One of my friends asked me which direction to go at our first intersection when we were going to grab a coffee.” Pipe elaborated on how difficult it must be for foreign tourists to navigate around Hazelton. New signage with ravens as the icon is what Pipe suggests for brochures and signage leading into town.
On the Trail to Great Deals?
Council agreed to consider the rebranding. Council conducted first, second and third readings to adopt two bylaws. Bylaw 455, 2013 approved a five-year financial plan for the village and bylaw 456, 2013 set tax rates for the current fiscal year. Copies of the financial plan and tax rates are available at the Village of Hazelton office. Hazelton residents are invited to the May 7 council meeting (8 p.m.) if they have any questions regarding the new bylaws. Representatives from the Northern Solar Research and Demonstration Project have also met with council to inquire of any solar energy possibilities in the area and Mayor Maitland reflected on a letter she wrote to her councillors on the subject. The mayor had one specific NSRDP suggestion in mind. “I like the idea of using solar power for the lights on the bridge,” Maitland said. The lights that would be used would be LED technology and interim
administrator Tanalee Hesse voiced her support for the idea. “There’s LED lights where I live and they’re amazing,” Hesse said. Bud Smith interjected with a concern. “How they are set up is important,” Smith said. “We don’t want them vandalized. “We gotta make sure they’re placed high enough.” Two requests for donations-in-kind were also discussed. The first, from Dr. Jane Smith, John Field Elementary teacher, to help fund a residential school memorial, which would be located in the JFE foyer. “Children need to learn about the history and devastation of Indian Residential schools on the culture of the Gitxsan,” Dr. Smith wrote. Some councillors voiced their opinion. “I think it’s a good idea,” Wendy Blackstock said. Councillor Smith had his reservations. “It feels a little funny to have something like that in an elementary school.” Council decided
1-800-222-TIPS Joyce Rachel NICHOLAS Height: 5’03 Weight: 146 lbs
to donate a picture of the town that could be auctioned off in support of the memorial. Next, Melanie Smoke requested support for a musical benefit concert ‘Rock the North’, to raise money for research into a cure for pancreatic cancer. Smoke wants the event to become an annual event, but needs help because the event is less than a month away. Council decided to donate a picture to be auctioned as well. Mayor Maitland, Councillor Smith and are set to attend the North Central Local Government Association AGM and convention in Quesnel from May 1 to 3. “One of the things I want to talk to them about is doing what it takes to upgrade the trauma centre in Prince George,” Maitland said. “Right now it’s a Class three, which is the bottom of the barrel. “And of course we want to discuss our ice arena.” “We’ll only be able to get money for our arena for wellnessbased activities,” Smith said.

Literacy funding reinstated after northern outcry By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
Upper Skeena early childhood development network co-ordinator, is new to her job, but knows the importance of reading for families. “If a parent doesn’t have a firm grasp on reading comprehension it will make it much more difficult for their children,” Williston said. “The potential for literacy problems increases when parents are relatively young. “My goal with this funding is to assist young families reach their potential through literacy.” Williston helped the petition by drafting a letter to send to businesses and political organizations. “I sent letters to local government, non-profit organizations and the MLA,” Williston said. “I asked that they sign, as is or add anything they wished and then send it to Education critic, Robin Austin.” Whatever the motivation, the B.C. government decided to reinstate the $1.5 million to Decoda. “I don’t know if it was all the letters from everywhere in B.C. that did it or all the negative publicity,” Williston said. “We still don’t know if this is a permanent reinstatement. “Who knows, this could all happen again next year.” “Miraculously the government found some money and we can now provide all that we planned and hopefully more,” Panofsky said. “We are very happy the funding is available again.”

Adult literacy programs in Hazelton were in jeopardy recently, but thanks to a province-wide petition, which included local voices, slated funding cuts were reversed. Decoda Literacy Solutions, a combination of the former Literacy B.C. and literacy department of 2010 Legacy Fund, opened its doors on 2011. Decoda now delivers government dollars to more than 400 communities in B.C., but was close to shutting down more than half its operation when $1.5 million was cut from its operating budget. Hazelton was one of the communities targeted for cuts and that didn’t sit well with several Hazeltonians. Lynne Newberry, Coast Mountains School District trustee, couldn’t believe funding would continue in urban centres and not in the Hazlton area. “There are so many more opportunities for people in the lower mainland and for funding to continue to be given to them over us was a real slap in the mouth,” Newberry said. “It was devastating to hear the north was going to be cut off from literacy funding.” Mid-February was when Decoda announced the funding shortfall and organizations like the Learning Shop and the Upper Skeena Early Childhood Development offices went to work. Sarah Panofsky, literacy outreach co-
ordinator, was close to losing a portion of what she provides the community, but more importantly would’ve been unable to help families in the Hazelton area. “Decoda is one piece of a much bigger puzzle,” Panofsky said. “But it would’ve hampered programs around here for sure.” The B.C. government actually cut the funding two years ago, but Decoda subsidized the shortfall last year. “Decoda made the decision this year of who to fund or not,” Panofsky said. “Their rationale was to continue funding communities who had leverage funds with industry.” Panofsky and company were distressed by, what appeared to be, a flippant choice. “They made it clear we were considered a community that can do more with less,” she said. “How can a community like West Vancouver get more money for literacy than Hazelton. “It just didn’t make sense.” In Hazelton Learner’s Opportunity Group Society, the library and other organizations helped to send a clear message to counter what Panofsky sees as a definite political agenda. “There seems to be a move away from community literacy programming in the past few years,” she said. “The only literacy programs that get guaranteed funding from the government have to do with job skills and work-related entities.” Tara Williston,
